“Random Act of Compassion III” Benefit Concert for Ann’s Place, Sunday, June 28, on CityCenter Danbury Green.

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world.  Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has. ~ Margaret Mead

People from across the state will gather Sunday, June 28, 2015, on the CityCenter Green for the 3rd annual day-long music and arts event Random Act of Kindness III, this year to benefit Ann’s Place, a community-based cancer support center that serves thousands of people in Connecticut and the lower Hudson Valley.

Random Compassion will take place from noon until 5:00 p.m.  Admission is free, with a suggested donation of $20 strongly encouraged.  All proceeds from the event will go directly towards Ann’s Place.

The day’s musical line-up will highlight up-and-coming bands: Violent Mae, l o o m, Union Rail, Snooty Garland and TNT Dynamite Band.  In addition to live performances, the event will feature a handful of local vendors and master artist, with food, beverage, crafts and paintings for sale.  Western Connecticut State University’s radio station WXCI will host the day’s event, sponsored by Starry Sky Studios, LLC, and City Center Danbury.

“When life takes an unexpected turn, anyone — regardless of their personal resources — should be able to find comfort, strength and support in their community,” said Nancy Metcalf, a New Fairfield resident who partnered with CityCenter Danbury last year to establish the Random Compassion concert series.  “Ann’s Place represents that pillar of strength for thousands of people throughout the region who are living with cancer.  As a lifelong musician, I know that art has the power to help communities heal.  I wish to make a difference and be part of positive change.  A change in community is a change in the world.  I hope for many future successful acts.”  Each summer Random Compassion unites residents of Western Fairfield County to support a different area of community need.

    & it helped me out a lot. I hope to offer one thing back and help others such as you helped me.

  27. Ja, stimmt, meiner hatte entgegen der Info auch kein Xenon und keine Sportsitze – nicht dramatisch, aber eben eine Differenz zu den Angaben.Nebenbei: meine persönlich vorgespeicherten Navi-Ziele ließen sich nicht anwählen -musste das BMW Navi wählen und neu Ziele eingeben.

  28. Utilisatrice de feuilles de stévia broyées bio depuis quelques mois, je m’en servais uniquement dans les yaourts où le goût de réglisse était finalement agréable.J’ai essayé pure via dans mon café et je suis vite repassée au sucre! Cela donne un drôle de goût sans sucrer pour autant alors bof…donc stévia bio dans le yaourt et sucre dans mon café, ce sera très bien comme ça!

  29. I have learned some important matters through your site post. One other thing I would like to convey is that there are numerous games out there designed specially for preschool age children. They consist of pattern recognition, colors, animals, and styles. These often focus on familiarization instead of memorization. This will keep little ones engaged without feeling like they are learning. Thanks

  30. That fight was just unbelievable. I love watching that over and over. It was a great year for fights. like Sonnen vs. Silve and Henderson vs Petit. Valasquez vs Lesnar was a great fight just because it was great to see Lesnar get totally dominated.

  31. Zephyr, luepa sinäkin tämä, olisi kiva kuulla mielipiteesti! Minun mielipiteeni on tietysti vain minun, mutta minusta Sinun lapsesi eivät ole sinun on ansioikkain Laura Honkasalon aikuistenromaani. Se on myös teemaltaa yleisin, niin että siitä löytänee tarttumapintaa, vaikkei kirjan pääteema ihan omalta tuntuisikaan.Riittävän hyvä, muistikuvasi on oikea, etenkin Tyttökerhosta jäi minullekin tuollainen ja noista syistä ärtynyt olo. Kannustan sinuakin lukemaan tämän uudelleen!

  32. “We are uncomfortable and embarrassed by being in the center of this attention”.It sounds like the man loves the Lord and wants the best. Maybe he doesn’t want to play the victim in this case. He said … “I also wish God’s blessings on the entire Executive Committee”. I would be discouraged to find his blessing to be a statement to appease the powerful and not one of sincerity.Blessings,Chris

  33. hello i was just browisng and reading up on domincan hairsalons when i came across this. Im very surprised that this technique is just now being introduced. If i could start over i would have told my mom when i was little that i wanted this instead of a relaxer. My hair is thick but its not course so this is why i was looking for other ways to get straight hair instead of putting harsh chemicals on it. I have been wearing braids to get my length back and its working but i just wanted another option for when i get tired of braids.

  34. The very core of your writing whilst sounding agreeable at first, did not sit well with me after some time. Someplace throughout the sentences you were able to make me a believer unfortunately only for a short while. I still have a problem with your leaps in assumptions and one would do well to help fill in those gaps. In the event you can accomplish that, I could certainly be amazed.

  35. Je pourrais te lire pendant des heures! C’est vrai, quoi… tu nous transportes!!

  37. Hi there this is somewhat of off topic but I was wanting to know if blogs use WYSIWYG editors or if you have
    to manually code with HTML. I’m starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get guidance
    from someone with experience. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  38. Thanks for your short article. I would also love to say a health insurance brokerage service also works for the benefit of the actual coordinators of any group insurance coverage. The health agent is given a summary of benefits searched for by anyone or a group coordinator. Such a broker really does is hunt for individuals and also coordinators which will best match those needs. Then he presents his advice and if both parties agree, the actual broker formulates an agreement between the 2 parties.

  39. "Please note that print preview will possibly be turned back on in a future release."Really ? Would you care to explain the reasoning behind this ? Print preview is an excellent feature, much better than system print box. If print preview is off how do we use the Google PDF printer or send to Cloud Print easily. A big error Google.

  40. I would like to thank you for the efforts you’ve put in writing this website.
    I’m hoping to view the same high-grade blog posts from you in the future as well.
    In fact, your creative writing abilities has encouraged me to get my own site
    now 😉

  41. All Hype: the amount of crap they had to deal with here means that you are not justified at flipping them off at this juncture.________________________________________________I do not understand what you mean by the statement above? I was giving them a little props to the money they have been making as of recently. No flip off intended.

  42. I know I’ve been saying all year long the Heat will beat us in the Finals… But if we have HCA with the way Bynum is playing we will beat them if Kobe is okay giVing the ball to Bynum again and again. And when he isn’t giving it to Bynum he should be giving it to Gasol whenever Bosh is on him. To be fair to my prediction I thought the Heat would have HCA. I didn’t think they would loaf through the regular season and I under estimated how hard every team would play against them.

  43. Youre so cool! I dont suppose Ive learn something like this before. So nice to search out any person with some original thoughts on this subject. realy thank you for starting this up. this web site is something that’s wanted on the web, someone with slightly originality. useful job for bringing one thing new to the internet!

  44. I recall our friend Don Gwinn's words when he got his first Giant: "This bike is so far beyond what I had, and I was right to buy it. I'm using gears I didn't have on the old bike, going far faster, and I've got nine more speeds above and below where I am, so as I get stronger I can still get much faster. It feels effortless, like flying, when I'm on the bike, but when I get off my legs are shaking from the exertion and I'm soaked. Perfect!"I love that feeling.

  45. In some sense, the new technologies are immaterial, since the main topic remains information; but now it might be accompanied with far more sights and sounds than ahead of. New information engineering involves the development of new codes and languages, as well as the specialisation of content on the basis with the audience. These who lengthy for a far off culture might be rewarded with a sort of immersion that completely flies against former historical processes of assimilation, in which immigrants tended to gradually forget customs and societal nuances of their distant homes..
